  • 1 tsp cornflour (cornstarch)
  • 10 g non-dairy butter (unsalted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apple filling by peeling, coring, and chopping apples. Cook with light brown sugar, cornflour, cinnamon, and mixed spice over low heat for about 10-15 minutes until tender. Allow to cool.

  3. For the cupcake batter, beat softened non-dairy butter with light brown sugar until smooth; add eggs one at a time followed by self-raising flour and spices.
  4. Bake cupcakes at 160C (350F) for 20-25 minutes until golden. Cool before coring and filling with apple mixture.
  5. Prepare frosting by beating softened non-dairy butter with icing sugar and cinnamon; add plant-based milk as needed to achieve desired consistency.
  6. Pipe frosting onto cupcakes, top with remaining apple filling, and sprinkle with crumble.
